  • Page 49 Calibration Overview User Calibrations—Optical and Electrical Plug-in Module Vertical Calibration The plug-in module vertical calibration is for both optical and electrical mea- surements. It allows the instrument to establish the calibration factors for a specific plug-in when the plug-in is installed in the mainframe. The plug-in cal- ibration factors are valid only for the specific mainframe slot in which it was calibrated.
  • Page 50 Calibration Overview User Calibrations—Optical and Electrical No additional equipment is required to perform a plug-in vertical calibration. Reference signals are both generated and routed internally, for the optical and electrical channels. If you are prompted to connect the calibrator output to the electrical channel during an optical vertical calibration, then the factory O/E calibration has been lost.
  • Page 51 Calibration Overview User Calibrations—Optical and Electrical Figure 3-3. Offset Zero Calibration Dark Calibration The dark calibration is for optical measurements, or electrical measurements if an external O/E is being used. This calibration measures the optical channel offset signal when there isn’t any light present and then uses this information in performing extinction ratio measurements.

  • Page 85 Reference Cleaning Connections for Accurate Measurements The soft core, while allowing precise centering, is also the chief liability of the connector. The soft material is easily damaged. Care must be taken to mini- mize excessive scratching and wear. While minor wear is not a problem if the glass face is not affected, scratches or grit can cause the glass fiber to move out of alignment.
  • Page 86 Reference Cleaning Connections for Accurate Measurements Use the following guidelines to achieve the best possible performance when making measurements on a fiber-optic system: • Never use metal or sharp objects to clean a connector and never scrape the connector. • Avoid matching gel and oils. Figure 5-4.
  • Page 87 Reference Cleaning Connections for Accurate Measurements Figure 5-6. Damage from improper cleaning. While these often work well on first insertion, they are great dirt magnets. The oil or gel grabs and holds grit that is then ground into the end of the fiber. Also, some early gels were designed for use with the FC, non-contacting con- nectors, using small glass spheres.
  • Page 88 Reference Cleaning Connections for Accurate Measurements • Keep connectors covered when not in use. • Use fusion splices on the more permanent critical nodes. Choose the best con- nector possible. Replace connecting cables regularly. Frequently measure the return loss of the connector to check for degradation, and clean every connec- tor, every time.
  • Page 89 Cleaning Connectors The procedures in this section provide the proper steps for cleaning fiber- optic cables and Agilent Technologies universal adapters. The initial cleaning, using the alcohol as a solvent, gently removes any grit and oil. If a caked-on layer of material is still present, (this can happen if the beryllium-copper sides of the ferrule retainer get scraped and deposited on the end of the fiber during insertion of the cable), a second cleaning should be performed.
